The Dolly Parton song goes : Get up in the morning, Stumble to the kitchen, Pour myself a cup of ambition, Yawning, stretching, tryin' to come alive.

That's great if you really love your job and you're getting your fair share of the perks that come with your job. Many people don't have it so great though. Their bosses are less than understanding, they have to put up with unreasonable demands, deal with angry customers and at the end of the month, their take home pay is just barely enough to cover their family needs. They yearn for a better way to make a living, but they just don't have enough energy to do work out their dreams.

Everybody complains about their job but we seldom think that we can actually change things.
